Faulty packaging, unbelievable discounts, grammatical errors and lack of contact information can be a few signs which make one aware of counterfeit goods.

Companies nowadays do a lot of things to prevent counterfeiting. Holograms, Security Labels and all sorts of Anti-Counterfeit practices are used. Still, somehow, counterfeit goods end up in the hands of the consumer and the consumer has to suffer. However, it is often due to the lack of attention from customers’ point of view too.

World Health Organization or WHO recently came out with a huge piece of information. Apparently, as many as 32 billion dollars have been earned by the producers of counterfeit medicines globally, and the drug industry has lost this much money globally.

Both from the manufacturer’s as well as customer’s point of view, this is a certified disaster on a large scale as it impacts both ends gravely.
